Books, Magazines Etec. The Christmas MecClure's is primarily a holiday fiction number, but the four articles represent the yery cream of the month’s magazines writing. Two of them make more absorbing reading than ninety-nine stories in a hundred. That remarka- ble piece of pioneer investigation, Miss Tarbell’s history of Standard Oil, has for its second install- ment “The Rise .of the Standard Oil Company.” It is virtually a biography of John D. Rockefeller from 1857, when hisname first appeared in the Cleveland city directory, his occupation given as bookkeeper, to 1872, when the Standard, having absorbed or crushed all the independent refiner ies of Cleveland, was preparing to pounce down. on the Oil Regions and secure its monopoly ot the crude. Another article which tells a true story more interestingly than fiction is Lincoln Stef- fen’s, “The American Man on Horseback.”” This is an account of the annual bronco busting con- test at Denver for the championship of the world. The illustrations, all taken from photographs, are hair raising in their suggestion of broken necks. John Mitchell’s article on the Coal Strike speaks for itself. Of great interest is the editorial an nouncement that it will be followed by two arti- cles by Ray Stannard Baker presenting the non- union miners’ side of the question. John La Farge’'s noble appreciation of Albrecht Durer com- pletes his series of papers on old masters. The fiction is of unusual merit even for a fiction number. There are four love stories,all first class and no two alike. ‘‘At the Ebb of the Tide,” by Henry C. Rowland; “Mr. Potter’s Vacation,”” by Herbert D. Ward; “Thursday at Three,” by David Graham Philips, and ““Briner’s Wheat,” by Charles Fleming Embre, are charming love tales. The best yet of her Irish folk lore tales, “Darby O’Gill and the Leprechann.” ‘The Last Choice of Crusty Dick,” is the story of an Apache massa- cre in the desert. Altogether the December number makes a great finish to a great year for McClure’s Magazine. New Advertisements. — Bush’s Book Store. BUSH'S DECEMBER BARGAINS. New Advertisement.
